What are Anti-Wrinkle Injections?

Over time, your face can develop permanent creases and lines, particularly around the eyes and forehead/frown area.

The three main areas where botox gives great results are crows feet, horizontal forehead lines and vertical frown lines.

Anti Wrinkle injections using Botulinum Toxin are one of the safest non-surgical methods to reduce these creases and create a smoother, more desirable appearance.

Botulinum Toxin is a naturally occurring protein that causes the muscles of the face to relax, consequently smoothing out wrinkles.

The procedure usually takes around 10-30 minutes and involves a series of injections into the muscles of the face that are causing the wrinkles.

Results can be seen after 4-10 days and the effects usually last around 4 months, after which you may want to return for another treatment.

Botulinum Toxin has been used medically for over 4 decades and, provided it is administered by a qualified professional the risks of treatment are minimal.

Side effects tend to be mild, the most common being mild bruising at the injection site and a mild headache post treatment. All risks and contraindications will be explained during your face to face consultation.

As your skin ages, it looses collagen, a major protein in connective tissue, that helps shape and support your face. Consequently the face looses volume creating lines and wrinkles. Dermal Fillers contain a naturally occurring Hyaluronic Acid gel that is injected into the face to fill out wrinkles and folds by adding volume.

The treatment is generally used on the lower face for lines around the nose and mouth.

For this treatment we use an ultra fine needle to inject small quantities of filler directly into the skin and you will see instant results. The procedure takes just 20- 40 minutes lasts for 4-9 months.

Hyaluronic Acid gel is completely natural and over time will dissolve causing you no harm, after which you may want to return for additional treatments.

Most side effects are temporary and include slight swelling and tenderness from the injection sites and surface redness. A full list of cautions and contraindications will be explained during your face to face consultation.
